2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot (from 1/2 of a small shallot)
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 medium garlic clove, minced (about 1 teaspoon)

Combine the shallot, vinegar, and garlic in a large, nonreactive bowl and let sit for 15 minutes.

Whisking constantly, add the oil in a slow, steady stream.

Using tongs, toss until well coated, then transfer to a flat serving dish.
